Ethel Cantor Constantino’s Facebook post quickly became viral. “Di minura ni Duterte si Obama pero ang gusting palabasin ng media is minura niya ito. What a big difference there is!”Specifically, she cited Reuter international for their poor translation. She said that they should hire someone who could properly do the translating well, in order to avoid reporting something that does not connect to the true message.

Such reports, she said, caused a rift between Duterte and Obama.Her full statement is as follows:“Duterte did not curse Obama. He was only addressing the Filipinos who are subservient to the USA. Obama was named because a Reuter reporter asked President Duterte if Obama will ask the question.Here is the verbatim: “I am a President of a sovereign state and we have long ceased to be a colony. I do not have any master except the Filipino people. Nobody, but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw away from question and statements. Putang ina—mumurahin talaga kita diyan sa forum.”Ang problema: di minura ni Duterte si Obama pero ang gusting palabasin ng media is minura niya ito. What a big difference there is! If they could not translate and understand tagalog, these international news organization should hire someone credible to do that for them.” ASCSSource: Nowreader
